Tanzania’s north is an ideal first time safari destination with world-famous reserves and diverse landscapes. Seek out the wildebeest migration in Serengeti National Park, spot flamingos and lions by picturesque Lake Manyara or view the Big 5 within a volcanic caldera at the Ngorongoro Crater. Those in search of adventure can also climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak.
For an off the beaten track experience, head to the south of Tanzania to the less visited wildernesses of Nyerere (formerly Selous) and Ruaha, or west to spot chimpanzees in Mahale Mountains National Park.
Trailfinders offers a range of Tanzania holidays and we have a dedicated team of destination specialists who are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Tanzania with your own private guide or on a small group safari, or are looking for the ideal resort for your Zanzibar holiday – they are the perfect people to ask

Tanzania Top Tips From Our Travel Experts
Inca McFarlane
"Pole pole'" means 'slowly' in Swahili - this is the best way to tackle Mount Kilimanjaro and increase your odds of reaching the summit.
Sarah Thompson
Visit Jozani Forest Reserve for a chance to see the Red Colubus Monkey close up. This is one of the few places they can be seen in the wild. Guides are also very knowledgable about the plant and tree species many of which are still used for their medicinal properties.
Carrie Hawes
Make a detour to Olduvai Gorge, home to the earliest evidence of mankind in the world. The interesting museum here houses imprints of the famous Laetoli footprints left behind by our 3.6 million year old ancestors. In a funny kind of way, you can't help feeling like you've come home...
